NEW YORK, July jay Gould and
Russell Sage are indignant. They have
/ grievances. They think that CYRUS W.
Field is not treating them right. Mr..
Sage voices his Indignation and submits
his grievance to the Times IN this way
"Mr. Gould is 8 nOJIe-hearted, GER
erOus man. Mind you, don't say a
word for myself. I'll leave nv own
praises to somebody else. Gould
saved Field from teetotaI ruin ard
in his broad minded, open hearted way he
put himself in the breach and saved Wall
street and the whole country from an
overwhelming panic. II was brave and
great thing that ne did, and mighty geE-
eTOus thing, too. There is not another
man in the world that would have done it,
There was not any other man that could
do it. But Whist does he get in return for
mis- good works? Why, the newspapers
pitch into rim, Wall street revjIes him and
he gains no credit anywhere. And CYRUS
Field, what does ne do? Why, ne sits
stupidity by and does not even raise his
voice TO defend the generous man who
rushed to his rescue. He is ungratefuI.
1 tell you there is cause for
indignation. Gould is being treated
shabby al around. Cyrus Field,
If re had one single iOta of gratitude IN
him, would issue q plain statement snd
tell the public sill about this Manhattan
transaction. Instead of licensing abuse
by silence, ne would be man enough TO
come out and put an end to it by pub
icly admitting that Gould put him
under everlasting obligation. ADO the
newspapers ever realize" went on Dea-
con Sage, "thst they are doing great
damage TO the puollc's best interests bV
pitching into Gould? The man is Doing
good all the time, but if he Is to have
only abuse for MS reward why the result
may be that he will grow almost hard
hearted. 1.-THE best of US" added Dea-
con Sage, with some tervor, Just the same

batter, ''the best of Us viii 90 on giving

months ago: "CyruS Is growing old. He
shows his age 2 good deal. I tell you
I've gOts lots Of pity for him"
When the "pity" cry started, it re-

The operations of the young

and his profits ere exaggerated in pOpu-
